I don't think a sustainable warm pattern is necessarily needed at this time, too early.

She’s come full circle. Voted for Obama twice, sat out 2016 and 2020. Voted for the first time since 2012 in the 2022 mid terms (people forget the Republican gubernatorial candidate only lost by 2.6% that year.), and is extremely motivated to vote for Trump this year. She supports abortion rights too, but the democrats are too extreme on that issue even for her and have completely alienated her on everything else. She’s really connected with the working class Hispanic community in this area, and reports that demographic is undergoing a rapid shift politically. She finds Bidens woke pandering to be patronizing racism and much more deeply offensive than Trump railing against illegals.

The fact she used to be against Trump makes that a big deal. I'm going to be making some donations to Senate and / or House candidates who are in tight races. Still thinking about sending something to Trump as well.

Biden is horrendous so what good does it do to have him win?

Not sure I’m concerned about the opinion of a card carrying Bolshevik.
